Daily Tech News 15 December 2024

Top Story

TSMC has announced performance specs for its upcoming 2nm node. (Tom's Hardware)

Compared with the current leading-edge 3nm process, it uses 24% less power for low-power mobile chips, and 35% less power for desktop chips. Or if you keep power the same, it runs about 15% faster.

Compared to 5nm, it uses around 48% to 55% less power, and compared to 7nm (which I'm running right now), the reduction is as much as 70%.

Chips will be coming off the production line in 2026.

Tech News

A Transatlantic Tunnel, hurrah! (Newsweek)

Harry Harrison aside, this article is garbage. Newsweek was overpriced.
Hackers are very clever idiots. (Ars Technica)

They went to extraordinary lengths to steal the credentials of 390,000 security professionals, and then installed a crypto miner guaranteeing they'd be spotted instantly.
Canadia healthcare technology company Care1 leaked 4.8 million patient records totaling 2.2TB. (HackRead)

Disclaimer: That was sarcasm.
